  • 1 lb salmon, skinless and cut into bite-sized cubes

  • 2 T cajun seasoning

  • 2 T Kosher salt

  • 1 T ground black pepper

  • 2 T paprika

  • 1 T smoked paprika

  • 1 T dried oregano

  • 2 T garlic powder

  • 1 T onion powder

  • 1 T cayenne

Topping options for serving:

  • 2 c cooked rice

  • 2 c mixed salad greens

  • 1c shredded cabbage

  • Sliced scallions

  • Cucumber

  • Avocado

  • Jalapeno

  • Cilantro

Sriracha Sauce

  • 1⁄2 c mayonnaise

  • 1⁄4 c sriracha, or to taste

  • 1⁄4 c sweet chili sauce

  • 1 T Korean chili sauce

Make sriracha sauce by whisking mayo with sriracha, sweet chili sauce, and Korean chili sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.

Preheat air fryer to 450 degrees (or use a conventional oven and broil for about 5 minutes).

Season the cubed salmon with cajun seasoning. Transfer to the air fryer and cook for 7-9 minutes, depending on the size of your chunks.

Divide rice, if using, among bowls and top with greens, cabbage, and any or all of the toppings you wish. Divide salmon among bowls, and drizzle with sriracha sauce.
